The Houston Museum of Natural Science is looking for Cockroaches–but not in the basement. They’re asking people to contribute the little buggers from wherever they may find them, and they’llÂ pay inÂ cash or a museum pass.Â But there’s a catch– They want themÂ alive and healthy.

I’ve been toodling around the internet today (ignoring my staggering pile of classwork) and came acrossÂ this quiz, which I linked to through G. W. Thomas’s site. According to the quiz, I’m Arthur C.
